Default RE: Mechanical OR Fixed blade

ORIGINAL: MilDotMaster

Out west while hunting at 7500 feet elevation in open granite peak country, it is not very common to get a shot off at 20 yards. This is a place where recurves and bows without 3rd axis adjustment don't belong. It is a challenge in itself to get within 40 yardswhile hunting these wild deer that are not baited or even in the rut. Especially with the ever changing wind currents. After hiking in 8-12 miles each direction for a weekend hunt,you have too much to lose to give away accuracyby usinga fixed blade broadhead. Accuracy is the most important factor to consider, so I use the original 100 grainNAP Spitfires with a precisely tuned bow to make the most of my hunting environment. If you haveenough KE to deliver them, no reason not to use them. Do your fixed blade broadheads shoot 5 shot3 inch groups at 60 yards with 5 mph quartering or crosswinds?
Yes, I also could with Muzzy 100 grains out of a Hoyt Tenacity with Beman Trophy Hunters 70/90's shooting 280 fps at 10,000' on my Wyoming elk hunt. We practiced to 75 yards driving tacks......it can be done with a little work and know how...by the way, killed my bull at 33 yards.
